Drop Road Extension, Planning Group Says

August 30, 1989

HAMPTON — The group studying the city's comprehensive plan agreed Tuesday to drop a plan to extend Bellwood Road to Sharpley Road in Northampton.

About two dozen residents had turned out at the group's meeting to oppose the extension, which had been intended to get around within the neighborhood without using Todds Lane. The neighbors were concerned about the road taking up portions of their property.

The group was stumped, however, on whether to extend Whealton Road north to Michaels Woods Drive.

R.C. Mallory, who owns an apartment building that the road would pass within 15 feet of, opposes the road.
